CLUE: Is this not a beautiful scene? And compare the size of the people in the foreground with the building! Amazing! Wonder where it is? If you think you know, send your ideas to elliott@brack.net and be sure to tell us which town you live in.
Last week first in with the right answer was Susan McBrayer ofSugar Hill, who correctly identified Finlay Park fountain in Columbia, S.C. The photograph was sent in by Chuck Warbington of Auburn.
Another correct answer came from Rob Keith of Peachtree Corners, who sent in this comment with another view of the park: “I had to laugh when I saw the Mystery Photo this week, as I was standing in that same spot, looking at that fountain just two weeks ago. I’m a South Carolina Gamecock and lived in Columbia for about 10 years, including during the time this park, with its unmistakable fountain, was developed. Finlay Park really is a showpiece in downtown Columbia and I have many fond memories of time spent there with friends on lazy Sunday afternoons. While I like the view you’ve posted, which shows the Strom Thurmond Federal Building in the background, I think another perspective is more interesting. By the way, thank you for your publication – it seems like a real labor of love for you.”
Tanya Moore of Norcross also wrote: “This is Finlay Park Fountain in Columbia, S.C. Finlay Park is named after Kirkman Finlay, former mayor of Columbia.”
